Crash and Burn
Well, here I am at my sister's place, all ready to start playing M&M with my nieces, and I discover I left my dice at home. My sister, who has a nice stash of d20s, put them all in my dice box, which is all the way home - about 1 hour 15 minutes away. I'm really bummed about it, and the girls were really looking forward to it.
Now, Matt's ear is really playing up, and he's in a foul mood. He'll be in no mood to stay for the girl's 16th birthday party tonight, so I'll be missing that too, it seems.
I know from my dealing with depression therapy that the universe doesn't do things to make your life harder, nor does any higher being throw curve balls at you just to appease it's own sense of perverted fun, but right now, I'm having a hard time convincing myself of that.
Edit: Matt ended up snoozing away the afternoon, and come time for the party, he was feeling fine. We stayed and had a great time, did a bit of dancing, ate some nice finger-food, and grossed out my Dad :)
